Book excerpt: From Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Award–winning illustrator Brian Pinkney and award-winning author Marybeth Lorbiecki comes a carefully crafted picture book how Jackie Robinson broke through professional baseball’s color barrier. A young white batboy treats Jackie Robinson differently than the other, white, members of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers—and so does everyone else. But eventually Jackie’s patience and talent wear down the racist attitudes of those around them and earn their respect. A backmatter section provides additional information on Jackie’s life.
